5th January 2012 – back to the hospital for our next appointment with the fertility Consultant whose name I can never remember, oops! We’ll call him Dr “James” as that’s his first name. He asked how I’d got on with the clomid, so I explained I believed I’d had a chemical pregnancy, which he said was a positive thing although very upsetting. As it was happening I couldn’t see that but I do agree with him, at least I’m getting pregnant now (3 times in 8 months after years of nothing!!)! He was pleased that my ovulation had come forward so much, and confirmed that my progesterone level from the day 21 bloods had come back 85, which he said was excellent. Apparently they like to see a level of 30 or higher, so very happy me and very happy Dr!
So, next step following this appointment, continue with Clomid and go in to have my uterine lining thickness checked sometime between cd 10-16. If it’s not thick enough then he will take me off Clomid (a clomid side effect is thinning of the uterine lining which can hamper implantation), but not sure what next step would be if he does need to make that decision. Also need to go for the HSG that I had to cancel last month, though after a phone call today this will have to be next month now as they’re fully booked…
